Two dominant signal callers in Ayden Justice and Micah Rans are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Frontier Falcons will head out to challenge the Pioneer Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Frontier knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 31 points or more in their past ten games -- so hopefully Pioneer likes a good challenge.
Frontier is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They took their contest with ease, bagging a 50-14 win over Tri-County. The victory continues a trend for the Falcons in their matchups with the Cavaliers: they've now won three in a row.
Meanwhile, while Pioneer put up plenty of points on Friday, the same can't be said for Caston. The Panthers blew past the Comets, posting a 35-0 win. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Panthers' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana football rankings (they are ranked 68th, while the Comets are ranked 245th).
Frontier better keep an eye on Noah Vanmeter. He was instrumental in Pioneer's win, rushing for 184 yards and three TDs on only 15 carries. That's the most rushing yards Vanmeter has posted since back in September of 2024. Another player making a difference was Shiloh Rine, who rushed for 66 yards and one touchdown.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Pioneer proved: they limited Caston to a paltry 1.8 yards per carry. While two picked up at least eight total tackles, Vanmeter stood above the rest. He rushed for 184 yards and three scores on only 15 carries. Pioneer didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 9.8.
Pioneer's defense didn't let the opposing QB, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Mikaden Tolosa and Eli Guffey, who racked up all four sacks between them.
Frontier's victory bumped their record up to 10-0. As for Pioneer, their win bumped their record up to 9-1.
